Is it permissible for one who has vowed a sacrificial animal to send its value to another country?

Question:
I have a vow to sacrifice two animals. Is it permissible for me to send the value of the two animals in cash to the mujahideen in Afghanistan?

Answer:
There is no harm; you may send it in cash and have it slaughtered there. The slaughter is necessary. If there are poor people around you, slaughter it and distribute it to them. If you send it to the mujahideen, appoint a trustworthy agent to slaughter it and distribute it among the refugees there, from among the mujahideen and the poor, distributing it between them. Money alone is not sufficient; the two animals must be slaughtered. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . There is no objection to buying the two animals in Afghanistan and distributing them among the poor mujahideen refugees there, who are called the Muhajireen, and they are the refugees. If you distribute it among your poor relatives, or your poor neighbors, or in a poor village among its poor people, that is sufficient. If you send it in cash but appoint a trustworthy agent to buy two animals with it and distribute them, there is no harm.
